This, ladies and gentlemen, is the AT-20 Drillbit. It is a man-portable shoulder-fired 20mm linear gun, capable of piercing the armor of any light vehicle, and the armor of most tanks if it hits them on top or in the sides.
The weapon is clip-fed and powered by a capacitor; this capacitor can be either swapped out for a fresh one in the middle of battle, or recharged if a recharging unit is handy. A relatively simple passive sight is included with the weapon, though it is of course compatible with night vision gear.
The Drillbit's max accurate range is about 800 meters; beyond that, accuracy is not guranteed without electronic assistance. It produces no muzzle flash (though a loud crack is heard as the projectile breaks the sound barrier) and is semi-automatic, allowing the user to hit the same spot on a target several times if one shot is insufficient to break through the armor.
The Drillbit is about 4 feet long and weighs 12 kg when fully loaded, making it easily man-portable.
Full production has already commenced.
